1.13.0 Beta 1

Improved Build mode for large codebases and a revamped model picker with recent models

Dyad v1.13.0 Beta 1 introduces a more capable, iterative Build mode and revamps the model picker to make recent models easier to access.

Highlights

Improved Build mode for large codebases

Build mode now uses an agentic loop, allowing it to inspect your app, make changes, evaluate the result, and continue working through multi-step tasks.

This enables Build mode to support larger apps without hitting context window limits. As a result, we've removed manual context configuration by path because it's no longer needed for Build mode.

Build mode is essentially a simplified version of the existing Agent mode. Free users can use Agent mode for up to 20 messages per day, while Pro users can use it with their Pro credits. Agent mode enables the AI to fix bugs automatically.

As always, Build mode has no usage limits for all users!

Revamped model picker with recent models

The model picker now shows your recent models for quicker access.

The complete model catalog is organized into a nested menu, keeping the main picker compact while making other available models easier to browse.
